Picking up the tablets

Yesterday Winky and Kadizzle set out on a hike up the mountain. We did not see a burning bush, or have an tablets to bring down. For many years we wanted to get up above a small cliff dwelling by the falls at Workmens Creek. After a long slog up an abandoned road we reached an area with a great view. Winky thought we would find another ruin. No such luck. Fall hiking is always great. 

Today Kadizzle has been going back and forth by email with a church lady who rights for the Fargo Forum. Kadizzle asked her some puzzling questions, but got no response, but fluffy feel good stuff. Asked why God lets children suffer. Either he can control things or he cannot. What puzzles Kadizzle is why you have to ask God to do the right thing. If you said to a normal person quit kicking the dog, more than likely they would. A normal person would not ask you to form a prayer circle with twenty church members and then ask to stop kicking the dog. If anyone can explain how God decides to do things based on prayer please let me know. Another great puzzle to me are God's instructions. Over 2,000 years ago God gave us some very confusing instructions, and then apparently he walked away and never said much more, unless of course you are a Mormon, then he did an update. For most people all they have are very unclear instructions. Then net result has been every variation of religion imaginable. Would't clear instruction have solved that problem. Some might say the ten commandments were pretty concise instructions, but Trump could not seem to figure out any of them. So here we are burning the planet down, and letting people starve while we send billionaires into space. God could have given us a formula for taxes and the minimum wage. Nope he thought we could figure it out and would not fight about it for a hundred years. Now with modern technology couldn't God email us, or send us a text message about what to do. God did use the technology of the day when the Jews used scrolls. Does God use the internet? Why instead of praying can't we just email to god@gmail.com? Instead we wander around in a daze so confused some of us think God wanted us to vote for Trump.
